Birmingham Breweries

Joseph McKenna

Birmingham has long been famous for its
thousand and one trades and products one of which was brewing in the city.
Joseph McKenna's latest book traces the history of brewing in Birmingham from
the earliest references in the twelfth century to modern times.

Retail Brewers, Victorian Breweries and
more recent takeovers and mergers are considered and a detailed list of
Birmingham breweries between the years 1782 and 2002 is also included.

The book is complete with many
illustrations, including photographs of buildings and equipment, old
advertisements and images of beer bottle labels together with maps showing the
location of Birmingham's breweries.
